Chapter 172: Sudden Development

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Sudden Development

Nearby, the Third and Sixth King Generals also glanced at the Patriarch.

The corners of their mouths twitched.

’This guy...’

’He’s really something else!’

Fu Huiyu was instantly reminded of the method Yu Bingyan had just mentioned.

From the looks of it, knowing Ye Yunyi’s personality, it seemed like that method might actually work!

But in the next moment, Fu Huiyu inwardly cursed herself. ’Work, my ass!’

’Isn’t this just selling myself out?!’

She immediately shot another glance at Yu Bingyan.

Yu Bingyan: "..."?

’What’s wrong?’

’Wait, I didn’t do anything. Why is she suddenly glaring at me?’

’What does that Patriarch’s comment have to do with me?’

Yu Bingyan felt completely helpless.

A short while later, everyone in the Beast Taming Palace had finished their preparations.

The Exotic Beasts were also ready to set out.

One after another, the Patriarchs looked at their daughters. "Once you get to the Cyan Ink Barrier, you must follow Lord Ye closely and serve him well!"

"After the wedding, if you get pregnant, be sure to come back and visit often!"

"Then I can get a look at my chubby little grandkid!"

...

The comments continued, one after another.

The young women atop the Exotic Beasts all blushed with embarrassment.

They didn’t want to listen to their fathers at all!

’It’s too humiliating!’

’And they’re saying it in front of so many people!’

"Alright, let’s set out!"

Ye Yunyi gave the order.

The next moment!

In the distance!

The Qingling Roc saw Ye Yunyi’s command and immediately unfurled its wings.

It directly soared into the air!

With just two flaps of its wings, it was already hundreds of meters in the air, climbing ever higher.

It circled in the sky.

Ye Yunyi looked at Qu Yilin sitting on the leading Three-tailed Snow Deer.

With a light tap of his feet, he landed behind Qu Yilin, wrapping his arms around her and patting the Three-tailed Snow Deer.

The Three-tailed Snow Deer began to move forward.

The entire procession advanced, a vast and mighty column.

The Patriarchs watched the Three-tailed Snow Deer, their faces filled with awe.

After all, this was a genuine Late-Star Stage Exotic Beast!

Incomparably terrifying!

But now, it was being ridden by Lord Ye!

It was completely obedient.

Lord Ye’s power and Beast Taming Ability were truly not to be underestimated!

Fu Huiyu and Yu Bingyan witnessed this as well. They looked toward Ye Yunyi. ’Just how many more secrets does this guy have to uncover?’

’It seems there are still plenty more!’

’It’s just a shame we don’t have the time to uncover them all.’

For a moment, they both lamented. How did someone as talented as him get snatched up by Shangguan Yulan?

Why couldn’t he have appeared in one of their barriers?

But now, there was no one to answer their questions.

Ye Yunyi and his entourage departed from the Evergreen Barrier in a grand procession.

They then headed toward the Cyan Ink Barrier.

All the way north!

「Half a day later.」

Inside a small barrier...

The City Lord was reviewing reports from within the city.

Just then, a subordinate rushed over to report, "City Lord, a large party has arrived outside!"

"Powerful experts have come!"

Hmm?!

’Experts?’

’How powerful?’

’Diamond Level experts?’

’He himself was a Golden Level expert, after all!’

’There wasn’t a single City Lord in this entire area stronger than him!’

’How much more powerful could these experts be?’

"How powerful are they?"

After hearing the answer, the City Lord’s eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

’They came riding powerful Exotic Beasts?’

’And these Exotic Beasts are ones we’ve never seen before?’

’Really?’

Afterwards!

The City Lord scrambled toward the barrier’s walls.

Then, he arrived at the city gate.

He looked at the scene outside.

Instantly, his legs went weak.

’Wh-wh-what...!’

’What in the world are these Exotic Beasts?!’

’Any single one of them could swallow me alive!’

And!

And yet, these experts were using these powerful Exotic Beasts as mere mounts!

’I... I... I...!’

The City Lord prepared to chase after them to greet their leader.

However, just looking at those Exotic Beasts made his legs feel like jelly.

Besides, he couldn’t possibly keep up with their speed. He tried chasing for a while, but it was useless.

He could only give up.

He could only watch as the powerful experts continued on their way.

Along the way, Ye Yunyi passed by a series of barriers.

He observed these barriers as he passed them.

He also observed the jungles, recalling what Fu Huiyu and Yu Bingyan had told him.

’Right now, the evolution of Exotic Beasts is far outpacing that of humans.’

’In the depths of the jungles or the vast oceans, powerful Exotic Beasts that surpass the King Level have already evolved.’

Ye Yunyi considered the barriers he was familiar with, whether it was the Cyan Ink Barrier, the Fire Barrier, or the Evergreen Barrier.

They were all near the Eastern Coast. There weren’t many jungles here; it used to be a heavily populated human area.

’The evolution of Exotic Beasts is already this rapid here!’

’This means it’s entirely possible that the powerful Exotic Beasts the two King Generals mentioned truly exist in the depths of the western and southern jungles.’

’It’s no exaggeration!’

Ye Yunyi thought.

Ahead, Qu Yilin noticed Ye Yunyi was lost in thought and whispered, "Darling, what are you thinking about?"

Ye Yunyi hugged Qu Yilin. "Nothing much. Once we get to the Cyan Ink Barrier, you’ll get to meet your other sisters."

Qu Yilin nodded.

"So, they’ll be my older sisters, it seems."

"Don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of younger sisters soon enough."

Qu Yilin: "..."

She nudged him with her back.

’He really doesn’t try to hide his wife-collecting-demon persona at all!’

’Isn’t he afraid he’ll scare all the other young ladies away?’

「Half a day later.」

"Oh?"

’We’re already approaching the Cyan Ink Barrier!’

’Just another hundred kilometers and we’ll be home!’

Ye Yunyi observed.

He called out to those behind him.

Behind him!

Hearing Ye Yunyi’s voice, the girls behind him broke into smiles.

They had all been on a long and arduous journey.

They were starting to get tired.

Some of the weaker girls were even slumped over on their Exotic Beasts, barely hanging on.

Hearing that they had almost arrived, they were overjoyed.

However!

Just in the next moment after Ye Yunyi spoke!

In the sky, the Qingling Roc seemed to have sensed something!

It let out a sharp, long cry!

Hmm?!

Ye Yunyi looked up at the sky.

’Why would the Qingling Roc suddenly cry out like that?’

The next moment!

BOOM!

A massive tremor suddenly radiated from the ground!

Ye Yunyi was stunned.

He brought the entire procession to a halt.

The Three-tailed Snow Deer also stood in place.

They all looked towards a place to the south.

The other Exotic Beasts did the same.

"Darling, look at the Exotic Beasts!"

As Qu Yilin spoke, Ye Yunyi also noticed the direction the Exotic Beasts were staring.

There, a mountaintop stood.

Just then, a wisp of white smoke began to rise from its peak.

Hmm?!

’What is that?!’

Ye Yunyi had never seen anything like it.

’What’s going on?’

In the next instant, Ye Yunyi reached back and gripped his Battle Axe.

With a tap of his feet!

He shot directly into the air!

The Qingling Roc understood.

Diving down!

It caught Ye Yunyi directly.
